Throne Steps

Since Saenz is willing to meet late at night in person, it means that he is ready for a long talk.But when Li Chen opened his mouth with such a large amount of information, Saenz was stunned.

The Highness didn't answer immediately, but only looked at Akye who was still kneeling beside him.Li Chen was so transparent that he immediately told Akye to leave, and he didn't say he asked someone to take him to rest. He meant to put him outside the door to hang out overnight.

In the big picture, he himself is just a follower of Saenz, and he must not use this matter to take Joe in front of his boss; personally speaking, he and Saenz are going to have a long talk all night, so they can’t sleep. Akye is just a "servant of a servant", so it's better to stand by him.

Seeing the tall man retreating safely, Saenz breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "It's obedient."

His tone was calm, but Li Chen's premonition of "going to be scolded" came again.This Highness has grown up, his thoughts have become deeper, and he has become more and more willful—of course within the scope of his image setting—and has become more and more unpredictable.Since Saenz graduated from Pesa, although the two often exchange letters, the number of times they can see each other can be counted on the fingers.Coupled with the remoteness of the north and the long journey, it seems that it has been a year since the last meeting.

The last time, they were sitting together in Pesa's auditorium, watching the repertoire of The Furnace once a year—the script was still written by Li Chen.

Li Chen suddenly remembered that this boss would step on the local snake as soon as he said it, and it was difficult for a while to control the strength of begging for mercy face to face. His mind was flashing, but his mouth replied calmly and respectfully: "It's just a useless person."

When he submitted the letter of obeisance, he mentioned that he had accepted a subordinate who had no fighting spirit or magic power. Now his answer sounds like nonsense, but in fact it is showing weakness again.

Saenz was just making a conversation, but Li Chen's resolute obedience choked him back.The boss was not happy, and he didn't want to be proud of this deadly thing, so he asked lightly: "Do you think you are obedient?"

Even without coercion and eloquence, Li Chen still felt that the knife that killed him directly pierced his face.Saenz's words, how could he dare to take them directly, he just bowed his head and replied in Chinese: "'Will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate'."

Saenz has learned Chinese with him for so long, and he is extremely intelligent, so he can naturally understand the meaning of the other party.Of course, Li Chen wouldn't say something his boss couldn't understand at this time, and it wasn't because he didn't think his life was too long!

Li Chen didn't answer the question of disobedience, but only said that he was willing to run around and take risks for Saenz, but described the situation this time from the side.Saenz knew that he was going to pretend to be pitiful again, and he was not happy to see his old tricks repeated, so he coldly reprimanded: "It is better to waste people than to listen and not do anything."

Before the words came out, Li Chen knelt decisively, kneeling in the actual sense.The meaning of these words is terrible, and he can't let him have time to have doubts about "is it so serious?"While knelt down, the young man was not idle. He took out a stack of papers from his arms and said, "It's against the Lord's order, and the crime is unforgivable. I wish to make meritorious deeds!"

When Saenz reprimanded him, he paused, and Li Chen's plop on his knees made his annoyance even more obvious.He recently punished Ta Dan severely, and said a lot of words with the same meaning, but he never had such remorse.Li Chen was wrong, but the words "it's better than a useless person" are too heavy.On the one hand, Saenz was annoyed that he couldn't hold back his emotions in front of Li Chen, and on the other hand, he was also annoyed by Chen's "shameless and skinless" kneeling so fast, he couldn't even come back to his words!

Li Chen himself felt that Saenz's words were serious, but even if the boss was venting his anger, can he be told to take back the evil fire that came out?What's more, if he really vented his anger, it might be possible to get any benefits from this Highness afterwards.

Saenz was silent for a while.Li Chen raised his eyelids, saw the young man in white robe froze and didn't speak, he understood.So it turned into a close-fitting little padded jacket, and it was necessary to step down to the leadership.Holding the stack of papers, he pretended to walk on his knees: "This is the map of the Lone Wolf Camp..."

Saenz was still bored because of himself, but when he saw Lichen quietly looking at him, and then made such a dramatic action, he was almost amused.Seeing that the boy was still slowly crawling this way, Saenz said with a sneer, "If you don't get up yet, what are you throwing on the ground?"

Proud.Li Chen stamped Saenz's behavior in his heart, finally put his attitude in order, and stood up following the leader's words.

Li Chen gave Saenz a rough overview of all the things that were picked up in the Lone Wolf, except for two things - one is Akye's true identity, and the other is that he can use the magic crystal after swallowing the magic stagnant potion thing.Akeye's identity is not hidden, even Li Chen himself is not sure about the story, it's better not to bring it out to confuse His Highness.As for invoking spells, anyway, the effectiveness of the magic stagnation agent has expired now, so this kind of technology that doesn't seem to be a decent inheritance should be kept secret.

No matter how good his eloquence is, no matter how general his words are, it's almost dawn after one repetition.Saenz has received a huge amount of information, so he is naturally full of questions, but he will not ask all at once at this time.Li Chen's way of describing, obviously has already been drafted, there is no major problem in logic, and there is no need to know the answer to some minor details immediately.His Royal Highness decided to straighten out the outline of the story by himself first, and then gradually complete it in the future to "enrich the plot".

Turning his attention away from the map on the table, Saenz glanced at the already lit window, and turned to look at Li Chen who was drinking water: "You... what are your plans for the future?"

Although the question was spoken, Li Chen didn't believe that His Highness didn't have any predictions about his behavior.So he put down the teacup, and the boy walked back to the table: "It's all up to you."

Well said.Saenz picked up a corner of the map and flipped the cover, not bothering to look at him: "Selling your body to the military for a few years is not necessarily a bad thing. Didn't you have a relationship with a fellow student before?"

It was rare for Li Chen to choke when he heard the other party speak in such a "marketplace" language: "I have dealt with each other, but the situation cannot keep up with the changes. If I return to Pesa with my original identity, I am afraid that I will be alone in two days." The wolves have wiped out their corpses."

Saenz glanced at him with a half-smile: "But you let Xia Luo out just like that."

Before Li Chen took the two of them to escape, he used the energy of the crystal mine to activate a large-scale earth magic. To put it bluntly, it collapsed the mine.His name was Akye at the time, just to clarify the layout of the mine.Lone Wolf has been independently mining mines for so many years, and cannot openly solicit technology and manpower. Naturally, there are inevitably many potential safety hazards, and some accidents have occurred in the past.Under the guidance of Akeye, Li Chen started to do damage to the greatest extent, and the entire mine was destroyed so that it was difficult to repair.

Not for anything else, just to cover up the fact that someone has escaped, and the teleportation array cannot be exposed.

As long as they count the number of people, or go around the No. [-] mine tunnel, everyone can detect the abnormality.So in addition to sealing the No. [-] mine tunnel, it is best for everyone not to escape, and the longer the chaos, the better.In this way, Xia Luo's confession of "escaping while taking advantage of the chaos" can be regarded as matching the "facts".

It's just that doing so will inevitably cause a lot of casualties.Although Li Chen thought he was able to handle Saenz's acceptance, but using spells and disregarding his life still prevented him from telling the truth to this noble family of Chunshan. .This statement is close to the truth, even if Saenz uses the spirit of speech, he still has a chance to survive.As for the rest of the insiders, Xia Luo was put under the contract of silence, and Akye was put under the spirit of speech. As long as Lichen himself does not let go, he is really not afraid of leaking—at least in a short period of time.

Now Saenz has not questioned the escape process, so it cannot be said that he believed it, it can only be said that he chose to "temporarily accept it".If this Highness really believed it right away, Li Chen would still wonder if his master had been replaced.

In any case, what Li Chen needs to answer now is only the question in front of him: "There is a rock eagle behind Xia Luo, so he won't die so quickly." Besides, they already have old grievances, and they don't have to worry about debts.

Saenz sneered: "Why, Rock Eagle can keep Xia Luo, but I can't keep you, can I?"

yes.Li Chen silently agreed, but replied: "I dare not trouble Your Highness."

Saenz folded the map and said with a low smile, "Try talking nonsense?"

It is not difficult for this Highness to protect himself, but Li Chen is not Wiggins, how could he be so stupid as to ask him to stand up for him in the open?Li Chen apologized and said with a smile: "Your Highness, can you lend me the transformation potion?"

Saenz glanced at him: "Borrow?"

"I'll make it for you?" Li Chen didn't dare to ask Saenz how much interest he wanted, so he just said, "For the rest of the materials, just take pity on me..."

"Shut up." Saenz stopped immediately when he heard that he was about to start talking again.It's obviously a daring thing, but if you insist on pretending to be a "Jester", I really don't know who is playing whom!

"Someone will take it to your room."

"Two?"

Saenz stared at Li Chen meaningfully, but put the map under the table without answering.

Li Chen knew that this was the default.

"Your Highness." Li Chen guessed that this was the reward for venting his anger before, so he quickly hit the snake with the stick, "Can you leave me a place beside you?"

If you want to abandon your original identity, then Pesa can't go back.Since Li Chen wants to reversely "develop" his Highness, this critical turning point should naturally be as close as possible.Having not met face to face for a year, Li Chen felt that he could not grasp the emotions of the other party, which was impossible.

"By my side?" Saenz looked at the aggressive young man and raised his eyebrows, "What's the use of keeping you?"

Li Chen really wanted to disgust him and say, "When it's good, call her Xiao Tiantian, and when it's not good, you'll turn your face and deny him", but he was imitating in his heart and didn't dare to say it out.After much deliberation, the original sentence remains: "It's all up to you."

Saenz actually asked just that.What exactly does Li Chen want to do, at least Yanying still has a letter waiting there, doesn't he?

Thinking of Yan Ying's letter, Saenz silently added another item to the list of questions.He still has a lot of things to confirm, but since Li Chen doesn't plan to leave immediately as he expected, let's take it easy later.

Although Li Chen vaguely had a bad premonition, he still didn't realize that Saenz had accumulated a bad debt waiting for him.He just lay down at the table, continuing to act disgusted and cute: "Your Highness?"

Saenz finally replied: "Go away."

As long as Saenz doesn't deny something, Li Chen usually takes it as acquiescence.Now that the most urgent matter has been accomplished, the boy plans to leave as he said.He stood up straight and bowed to the young man. Saenz leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, but only raised his hand.

Li Chen walked out, just as he touched the doorknob at the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "Your Highness..."

Saenz looked at him.

"Although you are taking a chic line now, sometimes you don't have to be too down-to-earth. It always seems that you are almost within reach, but in fact you are trying to attract people, don't you? Even if you are in the ruling and opposition parties, you don't have to be too friendly People merge, and the spirit of the market cannot be on the stage..." Li Chen was the one who urged Saenz to change his image setting, and it is not out of line to criticize Saenz's external performance.It's just that he was talking nonsense, and he said a few words without point, and Saenz slowly closed his eyes again indifferently.Li Chen saw that he seemed to relax a bit, smiled quietly, and finally said the key point: "Speaking of 'selling yourself' is too unsuitable for your image, you should stop visiting brothels."

Saenz: "...!"
